Me minus You BY ANONYMOUS

How many chances until it’s stupidity?

How many red flags until it’s a SOS?

Time has a funny way of showing people’s true colours.  And these colours vary from a deep red to a sunshine yellow to the darkest black.  They are phantoms really, showing up randomly - not being quite there but on the sidelines watching - their names appearing oh so innocently sliding into dms and following statuses. 

Do we notice? Of course we do! We immediately start soaking up the attention and feelz, kind of chuffed that hey guess who’s back. And then the question...like how, like why?

And it's like a rotten piece of meat attracting the maggots.

Once it was the cause of delight, nourishing you, and making you full/satiated, a hunger long satisfied. But now it resembles a piece of the past, a time well forgotten but that lives just beneath the surface –  lurking in the shadows - it knows when to pounce - especially when interest is waning then it rears its ugly head feeding or even basking in the sunlight ...In the sunshine that is you, healed and whole, no longer wanting of empty words, of baseless feelings, of soft hands with long tapered fingers that could stroke the dormant parts of you alive…

those parts that once was in need - but the sunlight burns u up, withers u away into a shrivelled piece of skin - laying there lifeless…

but it was you who couldn’t step further - it was u who shied away from realness, those parts that once needed you - you were so afraid of it as if it would consume u, eat u up, devour your peace…

I am larger than this, my courage built in times of strife, and my heart restored and so I am ready...ready to move forward…You see I was pure, real in your pretentious world.  you didn’t acknowledge that - you assumed that you held the power - the power of what? Over whom? Me… No! Over the situation…Nope! Only the power to let go.

So the maggot that you are to my realness ... stay in your lane - stay away - do what u do best  .... stay silent…

Your power of destruction pales in comparison to my power of perseverance.

When I do notice u there and it's a random check - my mind spins into a whirlpool of muck .... questions that any grown ass woman shouldn’t have to ponder...

 there is not even an ounce of doubt that me minus u is the right equation.

Me - U 

"Having courage and being fearless is par for the course in this life. Letting go, though never simple, or easy, might be just what you need to be your best self.

We all deserve something better than sadness.

Me, I choose Happiness...there is something sweet about living a joy-filled life!"
